That Book Woman by Heather Henson



Young Cal, who lives high in the Appalachian Mountains with his family, does not understand his sister's love for books, but the Book Woman always wanders to their home, and Cal's parents are always willing to trade something to keep Cal's sister reading.

  1. I liked this book because it is about books and librarians - some of my favorite topics! I also like that the boy learns to love to read.***

    * That book women was a good book. Cal was a farm boy. He lived way up high on a mountain. One day a lady with books climbed all the way up the mountain.To Cal those books were no treasure to him. Til that book lady keeps coming to the house and Cal Started to like the books.

    I liked when he thought "Now what that lady brings it's sure no treasure,not to me,but books! Would you believe? A passel of books she packed clear up th moutain side!A hard day's ride and all for naught,I reckon." And then he liked reading.

  27. I loved how the older brother learned from his younger sis and she was eager to teach him. I also liked that book women were actually part of our US history.

  34. I liked this book because it told about a woman who brought books to children in the country that did not have as much of a chance to get an education. One boy who was not interested in reading was changed after her visits. She was very brave to ride through blizzards, rain and bad weather just to bring books to those children. I rate this book "great".
